Agree, but in case with Securentfs admin right required only to create storage. Than it can be used with user’s right.

Thanks for the great info.
I think alternatively you can use TrueCrypt in the following way:

1. Install (not extract) TrueCrypt on a host PC
2. Create a new TrueCrypt volume on your USB stick
3. Use Tools > Traveller Disk Setup for enabling auto-mount

I am looking for a software that when installed on my flash drive, will encrypt all files under a folder. Moreover, it will not allow anybody t even delete these files, leave aside opening them. Is there any such freeware in the market?

Thanks for tips Alex! It would be better however if the software doesn’t need admin rights.

I don’t really understand your question. But if you’re asking if it can be used in any flash disk – then the answer is yes

Hi guys,
There are other solutions for this problem…
For entire disk locking the best case is Lockngo from Keynesis (http://www.keynesis.com). It is very fast. Interface is very simple and nice. Its problem is the requirement of administrator rights and need to run it every time to lock disk.
If you need visible, but well encrypted container for your files use TrueCrypt (http://www.truecrypt.org), but in order to use it you need installing it to every computer.
If you want to have some ‘private’ invisible area on your disk than try SecureNTFS (http://www.securentfs.com). This one works everywhere without administrator rights. Its the most valuable feature for me is that you don’t need to run it before unplugging disk. Storage closes automatically.
Enjoy…

Is Rohos Mini Drive is just used for limited usb only, or for all kind of flash disk?
